"Corrosion? Half-corpse? Wu Neng glared, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, "Don't be kidding, these brutes are jumping around one by one, where does it look like a corpse?" ”

"If you don't believe me, I'll dig one out for you and take a look, you will know, the toxin of refining these half-corpse ape demons is not new to you, it is the kind of poison in Zhang Erhei's wife that we met during the free clinic in Redwood City before. Although the poison on Zhang Erhei's wife is not the same as that on these giant apes, they all come from the same source - corpse poison! Shi admits to saying sincerely.

Shi Cheng's heart felt a slight pity, only a knowledgeable pharmacist could accurately distinguish the corpse poison of the Lu clan, in this southern wilderness where there is a shortage of talents, it is really difficult to make the victims of poison become evidence, not to mention that the corpse poison on these giant apes gradually dissipated after the death of the giant ape, it seems that the remnants of the Lu clan have developed something new during the dormant period.

But Wu Neng didn't believe it, and asked rhetorically: "Corpse poison? How is this possible, Shi Cheng, the corpse poison was the unique poison of the Lu clan back then, how could it appear here? ”

Shi Cheng knew in his heart that Wu Neng still didn't believe that the Lu clan had made a comeback, so he could only shake his head and stop talking.

But at this moment, a voice appeared not far from the two, "You also know about corpse poison?" ”

There was no emotion in their voices, Shi Cheng and Wu Neng turned their heads, and the iron-masked swordsman had already walked in front of them.

The two of them didn't bother to look at this swordsman before, at this time Shi Cheng and Wu Neng were finally able to look at this young man carefully, this young swordsman's temperament is quite extraordinary, not because this swordsman has the kind of temperament of a young talent, but because this young man doesn't seem to have the slightest emotion all over his body, when he stands in front of Shi Cheng, Shi Cheng feels that he is a sword, not a person.

Most of the swordsman's face was covered by a thin iron mask, but even if only half of his face was exposed, Shi Cheng believed that the true face of this swordsman was definitely comparable to that of many women's dream lovers.

However, Shi Cheng was not very interested in the strangeness of this iron-masked swordsman, he was more interested in the question that the swordsman had just asked, Shi Cheng looked into the swordsman's eyes and nodded slightly, as an answer to the question he had just asked.

"What do you know?" The swordsman's mood finally fluctuated a little, and it seemed that only things related to "corpse poison" could attract his attention.

"I know a lot about corpse poison, but it doesn't matter." Shi Cheng said calmly, "What's more, I also know who will use this poison, and they are now trying to return to the world. In fact, to be more precise, their tentacles have returned, I don't know if you believe it or not? ”

"What are you two talking about?" Wu Neng said impatiently, he looked at the swordsman, snorted, and said, "My friend loves to talk nonsense, and he talks to people all day long about things that are not boundary, brother, don't mind." ”

But the swordsman's answer was beyond Wu Neng's expectations. "I believe in you." He looked at Shi Cheng and said, "Can you tell me what you know?" ”

"The stakes are high, and I don't know where you're coming from. I wonder why you know these things? Shi Cheng asked.

"I've seen them with my own eyes." The swordsman's answer was brief, but it was like a thousand boulders smashing into a pool, and it stirred up huge waves in Shi Cheng's heart.

"Where?" Shi Cheng asked with some eagerness. Wu Neng on the side was already stunned, he didn't expect the swordsman to give such an answer, this was also the first time he saw Shi Cheng with such an eager expression.

A faint voice echoed in Wu Neng's heart, "Could it be that what Shi Cheng said is true?" ”

But Wu Neng really didn't want to believe this, the rebellion of the Lu tribe was an overly painful memory for the world that lasted for nine years, and after twenty-six years of greedy peace, for most people in the world, including those born after the cataclysm like Wu Neng, they would rather indulge in the peace of the present than believe that the former demon had returned.

Shi Cheng looked into the swordsman's eyes and waited for his answer, but to his disappointment, the swordsman just stared at him flatly, but did not say a word.

Shi Cheng knew that the swordsmen were the same as himself, and they didn't trust each other for the time being. He was helpless, but he couldn't force the swordsman to force him to tell what he knew. Although the strength of this iron-masked swordsman is not as good as Shi Cheng, Shi Cheng doesn't feel that he will have much advantage, and the other party must also have his own hole cards, so if he really wants to make a move, he has a high probability of returning in vain. For this kind of person, you still have to find a way to get along with him more first, and know it with reason.

Retreating, Shi Cheng spread his hands, and quickly calmed down again, he suddenly thought of a question, so he raised his head and asked the swordsman: "Your Wei Guoguan's words are very blunt, and there is a color of the original language of the Chita in the accent, you can't be a person born in any place in the North West Continent, right?" ”

"Don't say it, it seems to be true." Wu Neng looked at the swordsman seriously and said, "Your swordsmanship is really powerful, and you don't look much older than me." You must be a famous swordsman in the Western Continent. I said, Lao Shi, aren't you also from the Western Continent, don't you recognize him? ”

Shi Cheng's heart was quite puzzled, he was thinking about this question just now, but he was sure that this was the first time he knew that there was such a swordsman with an iron mask in the Western Continent. Just as Shi Cheng's brain was thinking quickly, the swordsman's gaze moved back to it and asked, "Are you from the Western Continent?" ”

"I am a Chita, and after leaving the army, I settled in the province of Nanqiu in the Union Khanate. What about you? Shi Cheng said.

"Union Khanate, Yushan Province." The swordsman only said eight words.

Shi Cheng's face showed a warm smile of "meeting old acquaintances in other places", and then asked another question: "Sure enough, we are fellow countrymen, where are you going to go next?" Maybe the three of us can go and investigate together, and once we get to know each other, I think we might be able to sit down and talk. ”

The swordsman was still cold, but he didn't refuse, he looked at the north and said, "Xieyang Dao, there may be traces of them there." ”

"Is that the one who is going missing?" Wu Neng asked a little stunned.

Shi Cheng beside him pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I am also very interested in the matter of that ghost village that died in vain, and now it seems that maybe that ghost village has something to do with them." Since you said so, let's go to the Sunset Road together. By the way, what should we both call you? ”

"Call me Iron Mask." The swordsman's answer was still brief.

Wu Neng muttered in a low voice: "Iron Mask, it's really like his name." ”

Shi Cheng nodded at the iron face, then turned his head to look at the caravan that was no longer alive not far away, and sighed, "Before that, let's bury these corpses first." However, the bows and arrows were poisonous, and the corpses had been corroded and contaminated, so it was better to burn the corpses before burying their ashes nearby. ”

"Okay." Iron Mask nodded, and then he suddenly said, "Take the disguise off your faces, it's too obvious." ”

……

"Do we have to walk to the Slope Road?" Wu Neng looked at the sun in the sky, wiped his sweat, and kept complaining.

"There's no way, let's go over there." Shi Cheng said indifferently, "Those archers shot the horses to death, and the carriages were all knocked out of shape, if you have a legendary magic weapon like the Wind Charm, it will be a different matter." Besides, cultivators, since they want to achieve the supreme martial arts, they can't complain about such a trivial matter as crossing the desert. ”

Wu Neng didn't bother to take care of him, wiped his sweat again, and said viciously: "Sooner or later, one day, I want to make a big house that doesn't need to consume much energy, doesn't rely on horse-pulling, and doesn't rely on spiritual runes to drive it, and then install that kind of mechanism that can blow out cold wind, and then I won't have to suffer this kind of crime again." ”

"Speaking of which, Lao Wu, your performance today really dazzled me." Shi Cheng smiled and said, "You made that armor?" It was able to instantly raise the combat power of a third-rate martial artist like yours to a level similar to that of Iron Mask. Looks like I underestimated you before. ”

Iron Mask also cast his gaze, he seemed to know the origin of the spell used by Wu Neng, and Shi Cheng could also see that he was very interested in Wu Neng, a mechanism magician, after all, it would be difficult to find a second one in the entire rivers and lakes.

"What do you mean by a third-rate martial artist?" Wu Neng said dissatisfiedly, "The strength of our mechanics can't be measured by secular standards, but the top mechanics can make an ordinary person who is powerless rival to a first-class cultivator." As for the Heavenly Machine Armor I just summoned, it is the top-level combat mechanism that our Yanmen predecessors have spent three hundred years of hard work to build, and it is also one of the three major treasures of our Yanmen, and the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy. By the way, Shi Cheng, didn't you promise me to find me energy before, but you can't help but be credited! ”

Looking at Wu Neng's face that was about to slander him, Shi Cheng turned his head directly and blocked Wu Neng's voice in his mind. Shi Cheng's old attitude made Wu Nengqi unilaterally mix with him for half an hour, and the iron mask on the side was ignored by the two of them for a while.

The three of them walked in the desert until dusk, and by the afterglow of the sun, Shi Cheng, who was walking in the front, found an oasis. Behind the oasis, is a small and quiet village.
